Bath repair at your home in Oakwood
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a hole punched through by something heavy.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Do you need bath repair in Oakwood?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips caused by builders
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

What affects the price in Oakwood
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your N14 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
